been in PDC for a month, ready to move on! my stay is up tuesday, here are my options:
bacalar (can you work remotely here though) merida (there’s an overnight ado bus, 12a-5a, is it timely and reliable though? or is it similar to most LATAM buses and it’s an estimate with lots of stops) or tulum (it’s close to here, but is it worth it?)
let me know your thoughts!
I have a full video about Tulum for digital nomads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc1s-e178bw
I’ve only been to Tulum as a tourist, but my wife and I DN’d in Belize for 7 months and we’ll definitely go back. We particularly liked Caye Caulker, Hopkins, Belmopan, and San Ignacio. Stay away from Belize City. The culture, the history, the food, the rainforest, if you’re not fascinated then you’re not paying attention. And affordable, did I mention affordable? The touristy places like San Pedro and Placencia are fine but expensive, so we hung out in the places I mentioned. As long as you’re that close you could do a lot worse than a stint in Belize.
My wife and I both worked from Bacalar for a month in March. No issues. The lagoon is really nice. Quiet town.
I’ve never been but my spidey senses tell me to avoid it in favor of other destinations. I’m sure it’s a great time though. It’s what you make it after all.
When I found the amazing wild beach at the Southern part of Playa (a bit outside of the city) then I decided to stay there longer. The best place in the whole Riviera Maya IMO. Maybe moving does not worth it?
